As you can probably see, this year, more modern games have made it to my list than last year, I think? This is because I've found that the state of adventure games really is getting better.

Thank you for all your efforts with this! If you need collating help, please holler! BTW, in several cases (such as Agatha, Law & Order, Holmes) I could have listed more than one in the series, but worked to keep the list varied and to 20. Here we go:

Well here it is whittled down to the best of my abilities. This is a list (-about another 20) of my all time favorite adventure games. I would recommend them to anyone and this is my list and I'm sticking to it.

Hi all,My apologies - real life intervened!Its early days but Syberia already leads the way. Chasing hard are Syberia 2, Still Life and Black Mirror. New games that have started well include Sherlock v Jack the Ripper and Rhiannon.Nearly 200 games mentioned already and over 30 that weren't mentioned last year (including a couple I have never heard of).Keep em coming
